New housing procedure proposed
the Clarion. Vol. 57, No. 23 • Bethel College, 3900 Bethel Dr., St. Paul, MN 19 March 1982
Rebate available to leaseholders
Dan Nelson, director of enrollment, explained the tuition
increase of 13.3 per cent for '82-'83 (photo by Don Copeland).
by Tammy Gregersen
Students living in Brigh-ton
Village and Silvercrest
apartments this year and
those who lived in Silver-crest
and Centennial apart-ments
last year may be
eligible for a tax rebate.
Since Bethel leases these
apartments, and does not
own them, only the stu-dents
living in these apart-ments
are eligible for the
Certificate of Rent Paid
(official government
name). Bethel is a tax-exempt
institution and
does not pay property tax
by Janice Woodard
According to Dan Nel-son,
director of enroll-ment,
the estimated cost
of Bethel's tuition, room
and board for next year
will be around $6800. Tui-tion
rates will go up 13.3
per cent.
For returning students,
tuition will be $4450 for
the year. This is an in-crease
of $525.
For new students, tui-tion
will be $4550 for the
year.
On-campus housing
will cost $1240 per year,
or $620 per term. Off-cam-pus
apartments will cost
$1350 per year, $675 per
term.
Board is estimated at
$850 per year.
According to Nelson,
the food prices are esti-mated
according to what
the average student eats.
"Financial aid will in-crease
substantially, espe-cially
aid from Bethel,"
said Nelson.
Nelson says that the po-tential
problems with fed-eral
aid are slightly over-stated.
Also the largest
proposed cuts are for '83-
'84 so they will not affect
next year.
Nelson estimates that
the total of all gift aid
Bethel will give to stu-dents
will increase from
$2.675 to just under $2.8
million.
According to Nelson,
Bethel is working on a
plan which will make
loans directly available to
students from Bethel's en-dowment-
fund. "Bethel's
endowment fund is under
$1 million," said Nelson.
"This is modest compared
on Bethel-owned housing.
Therefore, students living
on campus or in Fountain
Terrace are not eligible.
The 1981 Minnesota
Homeowner and Rental
Tax Refund Instructions
are available in post of-fices.
This booklet gives
both instructions for filing
and information as to who
is eligible. Form M-1PR is
the form for filing.
Those eligible for the
Certificate of Rent Paid
can file it with their state
income tax or independ-ently.
Since filing it with
to other colleges."
Bethel invests money in
stocks and bonds, and
uses the interest to pro-vide
scholarships and
other forms of financial
aid. Nelson says that they
are considering putting
the money into student
loans instead of the stock
market.
"There is not much we
can do to improve on-cam-pus
employment," said
Nelson. Bethel employs
about a third of the stu-dent
body each year,
which is over 700 stu-dents.
"We have approval to
hire a person to develop
off-campus jobs for stu-dents,"
said Nelson. "It
would be a type of employ-ment
office here on cam-pus."
"Bethel's increase in tui-tion
is in the middle of the
market place," said Nel-son.
According to Nelson,
Wheaton raised tuition 17
per cent for next year, and
Macalester raised tuition
15 per cent. Minnesota pri-vate
schools are raising
tuition between 12 and 15
per cent. Christian College
Consortium Schools range
from 10 to 17 per cent
increases in tuition.
"Bethel's 13.3 per cent
increase is in line with the
competition," said Nelson.
According to Nelson,
the single biggest item in
the budget is salaries.
Energy costs rank a close
second.
Revenue comes into
Bethel from two sources:
gifts to the school and tui-tion.
"Tuition is the single
larges revenue source,"
said Nelson.
the state income tax form
may slow down the pro-cessing,
the IRS recom-mends
that it be filed in-dependently.
The deadline
for filing is August 31.
Rod Long, director of
housing, cautions, "I don't
want to mislead anyone.
Filing for the rebate does
not necessarily mean you'll
get one." He added, "The
amount Of money rebated
depends on the individu-al's
financial situation and
tax status concerning par-ents—
whether you're de-pendent
or independent."
Nelson says that the tui-tion
that students pay in a
particular year goes to-wards
the services Bethel
provides for them that
year: teaching, administra-tion,
student services, etc.
"There are no carry-over
funds," said Nelson.
"Faculty wages will cer-tainly
be increased," said
Nelson.
"All of Bethel's housing
is expensive for us," said
Nelson. "Bethel does not
have the advantage of hav-ing
older dorms that are
either totally payed for or
financed during the '50s or
'60s with low interest
rates."
Nelson does not feel
that enrollment will be af-fected
by the tuition in-crease
next year. "Price
increases will be offset by
student aid," said Nelson.
n'W,MIF:tr
ments. Question-and-an-swer
sessions about the
process will be held in
each residence area March
29-April 2.
According to the second
proposal, upperclassmen
may apply for any of the
available housing: approx-imately
22 townhouse
suites at Arden Village
East, 71 apartments at
Fountain Terrace, 82 at
Silvercrest and 19 at Brigh-ton
Village. (The number
of apartments at Brighton
Village is decreased by 16
from this year's 35 because
of budget allocations, ac-cording
to Long.)
The other significant ad-dition
to the second prop-osal
is class level quotas.
"Each class level of stu-dents
has been allotted a
specific quantity of rooms
based upon past occupan-cy.
When the quota for a
particular classification is
filled, the students whose
applications exceed the
quota will be housed tern-
- porarily," states the new
draft.
The sophomore and jun-ior
quotas of 492 and 228,
respectively, are equal to
the number of sophomores
and juniors presently
housed. Seniors, who pres-ently
occupy 185 spaces,
are allocated 115 spaces
for next year under the
proposal.
Married students would
have first choice at ten
unfurnished, one-bedroom
apartments at Silvercrest.
Priority in room selec-tion
will be based on the
average class level of the
group applying. Students
will be the highest class
average will be assigned
the space.
If groups are still tied,
the group with the most
people remaining in the
room from this year would
be awarded the room. .
Overloads, more than
the normal number of peo-ple
in an apartment, would
be allowed on a limited
basis by the director of
housing. As long as the
overload is in effect, there
would be a reduced room
rate for each resident of
the suite or apartment.
This would be the next
factor used to break
existing ties, the room be
awarded to those request-ing
an overload.
Date and time of appli-cation
would be the next
determinant for breaking
ties. A lottery would be
used to break remaining
ties.
Applications would be

Edgrenites DISCed unfairly
Lifestyle demands openness
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response
to the 25 DISC points that
have been given to all the
residents of Edgren dorm.
Although I am not a resi-dent
at Edgren, my sister
is and I am also concerned
as a member of the Bethel
community. I have several
points of contention with
this disciplinary action.
First, the issue is no
longer fire extinguishers
and alarms. We are not
talking about people's hous-ing
futures made unneces-sarily
uncertain. The sys-tem
of justice involved
here is a dangerous one.
This action does not seem
to depict Christian justice.
Our democratic model of
justice does not fit either.
Tie whole idea of a person
being not guilty until so
proven is not even appli-cable
and this seems to be
the very basis of justice as
we know it.
Second, if this is to be
policy at Bethel, then there
should be some sort of
Dear Editor,
This letter concerns the
anonymous lifestyle
breakers interviewed in
last week's Clarion. Their
whole justification for
breaking the lifestyle
works on the premise that
whatever they do, it's be-tween
God and them and
that it does not make one
any less of a Christian just
because he/she drinks or
chews. One even stated
statement regarding it in
the Bethel handbook. Peo-ple
deserve to know that if
they live in a dorm where
vandalism has occurred
they may be held person-ally
and corporately respon-sible,
and they deserve to
know it before they come
to Bethel.
People are being penal-ized
for living in Edgren
dorm where some vandal-ism
has occurred. I'm sure
other townhouses or dorms
have had such problems,
but blanket punishment
has not been levied. I don't
believe this inconsistency
is fair to the many inno-cent
people involved in
this situation.
Third, I see the timing of
this punishment as most
unfair. The residents found
out only last week that
this punishment was offi-cially
levied. Next year's
housing forms will be out
soon and it seems as
though they may have
purposefully put off an-nouncing
the decision un-til
it was virtually too late
that he/she couldn't see
"one man telling another
how to live."
Have either of them
ever really read the Life-style
Statement? I think
they are missing a few
very important points.
First of all, the Statement
says right in it that "these
behavior expectations are
intended for our life to-gether
at Bethel, not as
for students and parents
to react effectively. It must
have occurred to them
some time ago that no one
was going to step forward
to point or admit guilt in
this matter, especially
since the incidents occur-red
last fall.
One hears a lot of dis-cussion
at Bethel about
the "end justifying the
means" and I don't think it
does in this case. In fact, I
see more harm than good
coming from this, action.
Many people have had
their faith in Bethel shaken
and it has not contributed
to the well-being of the
community as a whole.
I don't know what the
purpose behind this pun-ishment
was, but I don't
see people being nearly as
concerned about the prior
vandalism as they are
about the present injustice
of the punishment. I hope
those in authority will re-consider
this action.
Sincerely,
Judy Hougen
norms for all Christians
everywhem"
Bethel is not trying to
judge, but simply trying to
set this school apart from
others, and to help pre-vent
students from becom-ing
stumbling blocks to
other, perhaps less "ma-ture"
Christians who still
have problems with the
more "sophisticated" Chris-tians
who can smoke,
drink, etc.
I'd like to make one
other point. While I will
agree that it may not be
un-Christian in all situa-tions
to have an occasion-al
beer or something, the
Bible specifically states,
"Thou shalt not lie." Sign-ing
the Lifestyle State-ment
while intending to
break it is a lie, and I see
no way to justify this.
Jan E. Johnson
Dear Editor,
My reasons for support-ing
the Bethel lifestyle are
related to my early high
school years. At that time
my lifestyle was contra-dictory
to Bethel's. I
changed as a result of re-newed
faith in Christ. I
chose Bethel because of
the lifestyle. It is the way I
want to live and feel every
Christian is called to live.
I know what happens to
a person when they are
involved in drinking, smok-ing,
dancing, etc. These
activities prohibit spiritu-al
growth and some are
cietrimentai to a person s in rne three yeaPs that
physical health. I've been here I've found it
The Bible does not come very frustrating to live in
out and directly state: a "community of Chris-
"Thou shalt not drink alco- tians" where folloWing the
hol, smoke, dance, etc." It lifestyle is strange.
does, however, have some- Those of us who follow
thing to say about it. As the lifestyle never get to-
God's children we are gether and talk about the

anything to glorify low it or not.
God are we not in fact
degrading Him, because if
we are not for Him we are
against Him? We should
not defile our bodies by
participating in these ac-tivities.
Violators miss point, also justify lie
For those of you who do
not follow the lifestyle, I
ask that you would reeval-uate
your activities and
the effect they have on the
Bethel Community (Pr.
14:12).
I know of many who,
while at Bethel, have
changed their lifestyle to
that of Bethel's. To these
people I ask that you be
more open so that we all
may benefit from your ex-perience.
To live in community as
Christians, we need to com-municate
and be reconciled
to each other.

Top ten winning books

&PP. ..
by Donald M. Larson
It's three hours after dawn on Monday morning. The
-coffee shop is laced with its usual array of back-packing,
Bible-toting, butt-slapping boys and giggling,
gawking girls groping after glamor and grace. This is
not my space. I'm an outsider here.
So I turn to the latest issues of the Clarion to pass the
time. Quiet rage overwhelms me. I inch my way
through column after column of navel-gazing and
chest-beating. What is this?
The first (and last) time I smoked, I was so scared,
shook, ashamed and guilty that I wet my pants. Except
for coffee, pop and sugar, I do not knowingly ingest
injurious substances. I never really dance, but I do tap
my foot to music and occasionally waltz around the
room when nobody is looking. I rarely walk, stand or sit
with any other woman, and have never slept with
anyone but my wife. In other words, I'm clean!
But I'm crude, rude, arrogant and pushy, and those
things aren't listed in the BLST (Bethel Life Style
Treatment).
However, that insidious "once saved, always saved"
theology provides me with a dandy rationale for play-ing
fox among the chickens: a greedy and insensitive
fox keeping chickens from smoking, drinking, dancing
and doping—things that I never really did or cared to do
anyway.
The self-righteousness here is incredible, and the
brouhaha over the BLST may just be a death-rattle in
disguise. Beneath its surface is a myopia that prevents
us from seeing beyond the high, thick, strong and long
Even though this refers to
the church, it holds true
for Bethel in that we are to
be equipped (i.e. taught,
admonished, corrected, re-buked,
etc) by those in
positions of leadership.
We are not mature
enough in the spirit to lead
ourselves and may very
well be enticed by our own
desires (II Tim. 4:3), pos-sibly
becoming a blind
guide for the blind (Matt.
15:14).
"Finally, brethren, what-ever
is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is
right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, what-ever
is of good repute, if
there is any excellence and
if anything worthy of
praise, let your mind
dwell on these things"
(Phil. 4:8).
"Offer up an acceptance
sacrifice, well pleasing to
God" (Phil. 4:18).
Bo Burridge
walls that we create to protect us from the very world
which we talk about touching, and an arrogance that
justifies an arrogant attitude toward those whom we
hardly see or know from our narrow perspective.
We major here in insulation from the real world, not
involvement with its masses. We nurture dependence
on our own special heroes, heroics and folklore, not
learning independently from those who live really in
the world. Witness the Clarion's content last week.
If history repeats itself, this current brouhaha over
BLST may jiist finish us off as a useful institution for
the Church in the world.
Yet the power of the Christian community must be
here among us somewhere; waiting to be expressed in
those traditional themes: reconciliation, not rejection;
incarnation, not mortification of the flesh; discipleship,
not puppeteering; confession, not massage. Christians
at their best are always crawling inside the skins of
others. Always taking the initiative to reconcile, follow-ing
His example. AlWays discipling themselves first to
those whom they ultimately hope to serve. Always
confessing their weakness in living for Christ in anoth-er's
context.
Our "bottom-lining" one another is a sign of deep
insecurity and preoccupation with self-interests. We
need to remind ourselves what Jesus said about those
who say "Lord, Lord" (See Matthew 7:21-23). Surely
the present situation calls for a year-long moratorium
on further discussion of the BLST while we get our
priorities straight.
That's the problem in the Bethel Coffee Shop. Too
many disguises. Yuk.
by Kraig Klaudt
Decreed within the world's all-time best-seller is this
profundity: "Of making many books there is no end;
and much study is a weariness of the flesh.' As a recent
mid-term inhabitant of the Learning Rehabilitation
Center, I for one can attest to the infallibility of this
statement.
If Bethel isn't bricks, it must surely be books. The
majority of literate Bethelites will devour over 1000
pages a month and more than 100 different texts during
their collegiate career. A thousand dollars will easily be
spent to secure this reading. Erasmus once said "When I
get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left I buy
food and clothes," which sounds as if he bought his
reading material at the same place I do.
In a different way, Bethel faculty members are also
hooked on books. Every professor I know has written at
least one best seller, if only in hisTher mind. In particu-lar,
Biblical studies instructors live under the ultima-tum
of "publish or parish," referring evidently to their
potential deportation to a BGC pastorship.
Recognizing that a large amount of our time is spent
reading, how does the happy booker separate the wheat
from the chaff; the profitable from the pulp? A few
weeks ago I sent a survey to members of the Bethel
faculty and staff asking them to respond to the follow-ing
question: If you had your way, which books would
you make sure every Bethel student had read by the
time he/she is graduated?
Forty-one educators responded with over
eighty different suggestions. C.S. Lewis's Mere Chris-tianity
was the runaway winner in the "top ten faculty-recommended"
list which resulted:
1. C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
2. Henry David Thoreau, Walden
3. Marx & Engels, The Communist Manifesto
4. Ron Sider, Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger
5. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
6. Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
7. Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolu-tions
8. Dante, The Divine Comedy
9. Pascal, Pensees
10. Dag .Hammarskjold, Markings
If your personal favorite didn't make the list, take
comfort in Andre Maurois' words, "In literature as in
love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others."
Since I have free ink, I would also like to propagate a
few of my own favorites. Two Quaker authors lead my
list; Thomas Kelly's A Testatment of Devotion and
Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline. Authors
Bonhoeffer, Muggeridge, Kierkegaard and E.F. Schum-acher
have also had a positive influence on my life.
Finally, as this column is rapidly resembling an Irv-ing
Wallace-like "list of books," allow me to include one
more item... books to add to your paper's bibliography if
you don't have time to read (with partial credit due to
the New York magazine):
The Little Prince, Microavelli
Christopher Raven, Edgar Allen Poe
One of My Three Goals is Liberty, Hat Trick Henry

Dear Editor,
Thank you for your
most recent Clarion issue
on "lifestyle." It was most
enlightening, but the main
point of lifestyle was not
well emphasized.
The articles emphasized
a lot of things like "spirit-ual
needs," "college stand-ards,"
"Christian attitude,"
"Christian atmosphere,"
and "community." These
are terms which center on
self and ourselves as a
community. What needs
to be brought to the fore-front
is Jesus Christ and
his selfish desire for our
service.
It is true that the Life-style
Statement's first par-agraph
talks about "the
Bethel Community" and a
"fellowship of persons,"
but it is more important
that it talks about the in-terests
of Jesus Christ and
his kingdom moving for-
This statement should
not be up held for the sake
of the statement itself, but
rather God should be glor-ified
in what we do, be-cause
we are all called his
children. The statement
on lifestyle needs to be
thought of not as some
abstract concept, • but as
that which brings us in
unity to Jesus Christ.
It is apparent to me that
I am far from mature. I am
far from reaching the point
where I would be a guide
unto myself. I am thankful
that the Lord has set up
guidelines which I may
ward here on earth at Beth-el
College.
What does it mean to be
"fully committed to (not
myself) Jesus Christ?
What does it mean to be in
"continuous surrender to
the Holy Spirit" and "in
dedication" to his con-cerns?
imitate, admonishing me
in the ways and teachings
of his kingdom.
Consider, for example, I
Cor. 4:16. Paul says, "I
exhort you therefore, be
imitators of me." He fur-ther
states in I Cor 11:1,
"Be imitators of me, just as
I also am of Christ." Paul
was a living, breathing
example of what it means
to imitate Christ. ,
Consider also Eph. 4:11-
13. "and he gave some as
apostles, and some as pro-phets,
and some as evan-gelists,
and some as pas-tors
and teachers for the
equipping of the saints for
the work of service, to the
building up of the body of
Christ; until we all attain
the unity of the faith and
of the knowledge of the
Son of God, to a mature
man, to the measure of the
stature which belongs to
the fullness of Christ."

The DeGarmo and Key
Band came back for the
second year in a row to
play to a sell-out crowd in
the Bethel gym on Friday,
March 12.
Their performance left
no doubt that the De-
Garmo and Key Band is
one of the best rock acts
on the Christian music
scene.
The five-member Nash-ville-
based band kept the
audience "psyched" with
its clean, forceful style
and straightforward mes-sage.
The lighting and
sound were done very pro-fessionally.
The band's stage man-ner
was informal and un-assuming.
The perfor-mance
was interspersed
with short talks and bits
of humor.
At one point a stage
hand took the microphone
and vouched for the
band's integrity, after
which Ed DeGarmo pat-ted
him on the shoulder
and handed him a wad of
bills.
The band played songs
off all three of their al-bums
plus some unre-leased
material. High-lights
of the first set were
"Jericho," powerful and
ominously prophetic, and
"Wayfarin' Stranger," in
the band's unique arrange-ment
of this traditional
tune, featuring keyboard
and guitar solos. The first
set closed on a more mel-low
note with Dhana Key
playing acoustic guitar on
"Alleyways of Strife" and
"Mary ."
The second set got un-derway
energetically with
the rocker "Emmanuel,"
which merged seamlessly
into a thumping neo-blues-style
instrumental featur-ing
intense organ and gui-tar
work.
Later, on "You Know
That Jesus Loves You,"
both guitarists left the
stage waded up to their
center aisles, exchanging
licks and weaving some
exciting double-lead work
on the high-energy tune.
On the second encore
Key walked on stage alone
and talked about the un-necessary
divisions he
sees in the church today.
He ended the show by
quietly playing"I Have De-cided
to Follow Jesus."
A live double album of
the band will soon be
available featuring mate-rial
from earlier records
plus new material.
by Jerry Manus
Members of the DeGar-mo
and Key Band, who
performed at Bethel Fri-day,
March 12, were per-sonable
both on and -off
stage. The following is a
brief interview with
Dhana Key, guitarist-sing-er-
song writer for the
band.
So this is your second day
of the tour?
It's the second night to
play. We played Kansas
City last night. We're just
getting broken into travel-ing.
When was your last tour?
It was about four
months ago. We've been
off for four months just
basking in the sun. I've
been skiing, Ed (DeGar-mo)
did some studio work,
and I don't know what the
rest of the band did.
Are there certain themes
that are the core of what
you say through your mu-sic?
There are certain mes-sages
that we feel we are
particularly gifted in pre-senting.
I think one of the
things we are able to con-vey
to Christians is that
even though they may
have a "peculiar" gift from
God, they still can use it in
the body of Christ, be-cause
our band is an exam-ple
of that.
Another role that we
play that's kind of un-usual
is the role of rock-culture
evangelist. There
are not many evangelists
who can reach the hard-rock
culture, but we seem
to be able to penetrate that
audience pretty well.
Do you usually draw more
of a Christian or more of a .
secular audience?
A lot more Christians,
probably 75 per cent Chris-tians.
How do you feel about the
show tonight?
I'm really pleased—I
had a good time. I hope the
audience did too. It's im-portant
to me that the
band members enjoy them-selves,
because I believe
that's contagious.
We all had a lot of fun,
plus we felt that like the
Holy Spirit really spoke
through us tonight, and
that's the most important
thing.
How long is this tour go-ing
to be?
About 30 cities, which
will take us about a month
and a half.
So you have a new record
coming out?
A double live album re-corded
last fall in Okla-homa
City. We're real
proud of it.
Is there a lot of new mate-rial
on that?
No, actually it's what
we consider the best of the
material off the first three
albums, and then three
new songs that we just
interjected.
Is there anything you
would especially want to
say to a Christian college
audience?
The thing I've found
across the country is that
on most Christian college
campuses there are a lot of
kids who play religious
games.
They're not in a Chris-tian
college because of
their hard, strong beliefs,
but for various reasons—
their parents wanted them
to go, or they thought it
would be an easier, more
safe place to go than a
secular university—you
know, a "big, cold secular
university."
We want Christians to
grow up and to weigh the
cost of doing -God's will.
It's not easy to do God's
will; it's really tough. Let
me just tell you a brief
story.
When the rich young
ruler came to Jesus he
said, "Good master, what
can I do to have eternal
life?"
And Jesus said, "Well,
you know, keep the com-mandments."
He said, "Well, I've done
that from birth."
Jesus was testing his
faith and seeing if he was
just religious or if he had
genuine faith. He said,
"All right, fine, come and
follow me—but first go
and sell all that you have.
Of course the guy was
rich; he weighed the deci-sion
in his mind, and he
decided it was more impor-tant
to have the riches
than to follow Jesus. So
the guy probably went
back to his wealth and
continued to play religious
games for the rest of his
life and went to hell.
Now Jesus didn't turn
and run to this guy and
say "Hey, man! I was just
kidding—you can follow
me even if you don't sell
all your possessions." Je-sus
never said that. Be-cause
it costs a lot to fol-low
Jesus, and you can't
fool around and play
games when it comes to
doing God's will.
You have to be willing
to give up everything, whe-ther
it's career, whether he
asks you to give up your
family, your parents, your
280Z, whatever it is that
he asks you to give up to
follow him, then you have
to give it up to follow him.
Now he doesn't ask every-one
to give up the same
things, but he does test
our faith. And I'm afraid
that a lot of kids in Chris-tian
colleges are going to
live a religious life, go to
church, give their ten per
cent and then end up going
to hell.
Do you mind that your
audience is basically Chris-tian?
No, I like it. I feel like
the responsibility for evan-gelism
is not with the big
TV evangelists but with
the body of Christ. And
what I want to do is get
Christians on the ball so
that they'll win their
friends and their neigh-bors
to Christ.
I resent the attitude that
I've got to take an unbe-liever
to church or to a
concert and let the profes-sional
Christian win him/
her to Christ. It's not the
professional Christian's re-sponsibility
to win people
to Christ; it's every single
Christian's responsibility
to proclaim the Gospel. So
when I have that audience
made" up primarily of
Christians, I've got a great
opportunity to challenge
and motivate, and hope-fully
I'll get a lot more
done by motivating them
than I could do myself by
witnessing 24 hours a day.

Long explains room selection procedure, calls for student input
by JoAnn Watkins
"It's a draft of the pro-posed
room selection pro-cedures,"
said Dr. Rodney
Long, director of housing.
A new proposal for hous-ing
application was recent-ly
distributed to members
of the Bethel community.
Long said that he is in-terested
in student input
and described three ways
for students to voice their
opinions. Students can
talk to the representative
from their residence on
the housing advisory com-mittee.
Residence councils

accepted in rounds, but
different from those of last
year. When application is
made and a room assigned,
the student would have 14
days to return the signed
lease and .a $200 room de-posit.
The room assign-ment
would be cancelled
if the deadline is missed.
In the past the room
deposit has been $65. For
returning students this
amount will be held over
for the next lease term,
and an additional 5135 must
be paid to meet the deposit
requirement. The room de-posit
has been increased
due to the large number of
students who have can-celled
their housing this
year, the proposal states.
Round one would be held
from April 5 - 8, for contin-uing
students who are ap-plying
for full-occupancy
rooms, suites or apart-ments
and for overloads.
will also have an oppor-tunity
to respond to the
draft. Resident assistants
and assistant director are
another channel for views.
"I'd be happy to talk to
anyone about it," said
Long. "I'm seeking student
input. I'd have to make an
arbitrary decision with-out
it, and I don't want to
do that."
Long said that he has
been considering several
plans to improve the selec-tion
procedure. He explain-ed
two reasons for this
proposal. The first he des-cribed
as an educational
The round would be gov-erned
by class-leVel prior-ity,
not on a first come-first

round two would be held,
for -those whose applica-tions
had to be rejected in

Round three, April 26- 30,
would include all continu-ing
students who are ap-plying
without .roommate
preference or who are ap-plying
with roommates but
for less than complete oc-cupancy.
No room changes can be
made during the first and
second weeks of each sem-ester,
during the month of
December or during inter-im.
A charge of $25 per
person per change will be
levied on all room changes
after the first occurrence.

ground. "By their sopho-more
year a lot of students
have left or dropped out
for one reason or another.
The hardest retention year
is between freshman and
sophomore years." Long
said he sees a need for the
sophomore to have prior-ity.
The second reason is de-velopmental.
"The group
out on their own shouldn't
be sophomores," said
Long. "Seniors are more
mature and capable to ad-just
to apartment situa-tions."
With this proposal
there is a gradual increase
in the demands on the stu-dent.
Long stated that not
many students used round

"Just because we're
Christians doesn't mean
that people won't steal,"
said Mack Nettleton, dir-ector
of student affairs.
"People have problems,
and dishonesty is one of
them."
Nettleton expressed con-cern
about the higher inci-dence
of theft on campus
this year.
"We want to create a
climate where people
won't steal," said Nettle-ton."
Theft is-not consist-ent
with Christian values."
According to Jim Woods,
director of physical plant,
the majority of stolen arti-cles
are petty things like
gloves, purses, calculators,
and books. A- stereo was
stolen from a faculty of-fice,
and earlier this year a
video recorder was stolen
, from the drama depart-ment
lounge.
"17 thefts have been re-ported
this year," said
Woods. "Probably four
times that are not report-ed."
"Theft occasionally oc-curs
in the bookstore. "We
know there's a lot going
on, but nothing we can
prove," said Marvin Fuller,
manager of purchasing/
bookstore. The biggest
problem, according to Ful-ler,
is the pens and pen-cils.
Other problems are
candy and any loose ob-jects.
Textbooks and Bibles
have also been stolen.
Fuller has suggested
putting lockers outside
the bookstore.
Another growing prob-probably

the selection, said Long,
because the points have
been administered incon-sistently.
Round one was
intended to promote com-munity
in the housing res-idences.
"I don't know
how much community
we've established," said
Long. "[The proposal]
would involve a lot of mov-ing."
When asked if he
thought it was a good idea
to segregate the students
by classes, Long said, "Not
entirely. The administra-tion
is concerned with
how to ensure first choice
for everyone.
Long said that the room
deposit increase to $200 is
a result of a number of
students cancelling out of
lem area is the theft of
food cards. "We receive
complaints from time to
time," said Glennda
Thompson, food card coor-dinator,
"but there's little
we can do about it. "
Thompson offered these
suggestions: put name and
PO on food cards, don't
put food cards in the POs,
and don't - leave things ly-ing
around.
Food cards can be traced
according to the number
on them, and cashiers are
alerted to watch for stolen
food cards.
"If you're going to leave
your purse/wallet lying
around, you're asking for
trouble," said Thompson.
"A lot of people are too
trusting."
The problem of theft also
occurs at the POs. Accord-ing
to Elaine McCleary,
post office coordinator, let-ters,
food cards, money
and keys have been stolen
out of POs.
"People simply don't re-spect
the privacy of the
PO boxes," said McCleary.
McCleary is pushing to
get locks put on the POs.
"We are the only school I
know of without locks,"
said McCleary.
Earlier this year the
Clarion reported on theft
problems in the food ser-vice
(see Oct. 9 issue).
Nettleton offers two sug-gestions
to curb the prob-lem
of theft: the responsi-bility
for honesty as a self-discipline,
and the respon-sibility
of taking care of
personal belongings.
Thieves have been ap-prehended
from off-cam-pus
in the past, so the
their leases with Bethel.
"We're committed for a de-posit
and rent for the year.
Students will hold a place
in housing and then come
back a few weeks early
and find their own apart-ment.
When someone can-cels
out of housing it costs
Bethel $700-$900 per se-mester.
"We're not looking to get
money out of the situa-tion;
we're looking forpeo-ple
to make an honest deci-sion."
Long said he thinks
it is okay for students to
look for cheaper housing
but an ethical question
arises in deliberate decep-tion
about housing inten-tions.
Two other options that
Long sees are early pay-problem
could be an in-side
or outside job.
"We're vulnerable," said
Nettleton. "People know
we're a Christian commun-ity
and very trusting. We
need to be more careful."
All thefts should be re-ported
to the Physical
Plant department. A form
will be filled out on the
missing item (s), and if
necessary, an investigation
will be made.
If a theft occurs in the
resident halls, the resident
director should also be no-tified.
If an item is missing,
students should first check
the lost-and-found.
"By recording the thiev-ery,
we can notice any
pattern and can solve the
case more easily," said
Woods. "But the percen-ment
of housing charges
or a requirement that the
student pay for the terms
agreed to in the lease. Be-cause
of Bethel's policy on
refunding of student ac-counts
these options are
not possible.
According to Long, the
first option is not valid
because of Bethel's refund
policy which allows stu-dents
to receive refunds of
their housing. The second
option would not consti-tute
acceptable relations
between the housing de-partment
and students.
"If we could get by with-out
a room deposit, that
would be great," said
Long. "Housing costs are
not going down in the next
years."
tage of recovering stolen
articles is very low."
"We are trying to do
everything we can to pro-tect
property, but the stu-dents
must protect their
own property," said
Woods. "Bethel is not a
Christian college, it is a
college of Christians."
If a student is caught
stealing, he/she is sent to
the Student Affairs office.
According to Nettleton,
there are three options in
dealing with this: counsel-ing,
dismissal from school,
or dismissal from school
and involvement with lo-.
cal authorities. All three
of these options have been
used in the past'
"We don't want to create
a suspicious community,"
said Nettleton, "just a care-ful
one."

Middle East forum airs views of Palestinian, Israeli by Anita Baerg
Noha Ismail says Pales-tine
is a land without its
people, and the Palestini-ans
are a people without a
land. Dr. Isaac Platzner
says the Israelis did not
"kick out" the Palestinians,
but only settled in the un-occupied
areas of Pales-tine.
Each speaker support-ed
his/her perspective at a
forum concerning the Mid-dle
East crisis held March
15.
"Palestinians are consi-dered
as third class citi-zens
in their own land,"
said Ismail. "First are the
European Jews, then the
Oriental Jews, and then
the Palestinians."
"State law has Jews and
Palestinians equal," said
Platzner. There are no
state laws that separate
citizens by class distinc-tion,
he said.
Platzner sees the Pales-tinian
Liberation Organi-zation
(PLO) as a terrorist
organization, while Ismail
says the PLO is trying to
represent the displaced
Palestinians. "I feel the on-ly
way Palestinians and
the PLO are perceived is
as terrorists," she said.
The worst violation of
Palestinians rights was
the Israeli settlement in
Palestine soon after World
War II, Ismail believes.
She said that the Israelis
will annex more and more
Palestinian land and even-tually
incorporate all of
Palestine into Israel.
But Platzner believes
that there are two separ-ate
states in Palestine: one
Jewish and one Arab.
"The Arabs did not accept
this in 1948 when Jews
were being resettled," he
said. "The people of Israel
only want peace and a
place to live their own cul-ture."
Although U.S. policy
doesn't support the acqui-sition
of land by force in
Afghanistan or Poland, Is-mail
said, the U.S. is sup-porting
it in Palestine.
"You (U.S.) cannot be selec-tive
in human rights," she
said. "Help the whole
world, not just part of it."
Only when Palestine is
included in the negotia-tions
for peace will there
be peace, said Ismail. But
our longing for peace can-

The housing proposal for
the '1982-83 school year
met with opposition at the
Student Senate meeting
Monday, March 15. Stu-dents
expressed concern
that the proposed process

Improvement seems to
be the magic word for the
women's track team, and
it shows in the results of
the last meet, the Ole
Open at St. Olaf on March
13.
Wendy Norberg set two
personal records (PRs) at
the meet, which was Beth-el's
last indoor competi-tion
this year. Norberg ran
a 5:25.8 mile for her first
PR and in the invitation-only
two-mile race the ju-nior
took 16 seconds off
the school record. The
11:26.7 was her second
personal best.
In the 60 yard dash Dan-ettte
Burgess ran 7.32 to
take fourth in the race and
shave .2 of a second off her
previous best. "That's an
incredible amount of time
to take off in an event that
is so short,". said Coach
Book.
Kathy Kvam threw a
personal best of 37'7" to
finish sixth in the shot
put. Only three inches be-hind
was the toss of Sara
Barker, who finished sev-enth.
Freshman Penny
Marshall also made a PR
with her throw of 34'8".
The team gets a break
until April 10, the start of
the outdoor season, which
will begin with the Bethel
Invitational.
"We needs lots of fans to
be there; that's usually a
cold, rainy day, and the
girls need a lot of encour-agement
to be out there
and compete," said Book.
The meet, held at
Mounds View High
School, will start at
around noon.
D. Johnson,
teammates
take honors
by John Clark
David Johnson was
named to the NAIA All-
American hockey team
and several other Bethel
hockey players received
post-season honors as
well.
Johnson, who ended his
career at Bethel as the Roy-als'
all-time leading scor-er,
became Bethel's first
hockey All-American.
Johnson was one of the big
factors behind Bethel's 15-
15 season and the Royals'
fifth-place finish at the na-tional
tournament.
"It's exciting to have one
of our playerS chosen as-an
All-American," said
Bethel hockey coach Craig
Dahl. "David certainly de-served
it; he's a tremen-dous
individual on and off
the ice."
In addition to his na-tional
honor, Johnson was
named to the MIAC's all-conference
team along
with teammate Jon Erick-son.
Erickson, a junior de-fenseman,
headed an im-proved
Royal defense that
was responsible for Beth-el's
turn-around from a
year ago, when the Royals
won only three games.
Receiving honorable
mention awards for their
play in the MIAC were
Scott Dahlstrorti, a for-ward
who also received
honorable mention last
season; Scott Mayer, a
freshman forward; and
Bruce Nord, a sophomore
defenseman.
By Wendy Norberg
Almost every MIAC
school was represented
last weekend at St. John's
"MIAC" Days track meet.
No team scores were
kept, but Bethel pulled a
string of fine performan-ces.
The strong Ro yal mid-dle-
distance squad gain
paced the team's achieve-ments.
The mile-relay team of
Mike Dirks, Tom Plocker,
Don Hauser and Dave Jor-genson
ran 3:28 to capture
first place. The fleet four-some
has yet to be beaten
this year in this event.
Highlighting the meet was
Plocker's fast 1:56.6. time
in the 800 yard dash,
which set the St. John's
fie-ldhouse record and
earned him another first
place. Jorgenson and Haus-er
dominated the 600 yard
dash, taking first and sec-ond,
respectively, in times
of 1:15.3 and 1:15.7. Sprint-er
Satch Shaheed also
turned in a first for Bethel
when he won the 60 yard
dash in 6.4.
"Ties" were common-plaCe
for the Bethel squad.
Shaheed crossed the line
in 23.7 to tie for third in
the 200. In the 400 Jay
VanLoon and Mike Dirks
tied for third with 52.4
efforts. And high jumpers
Joe Moerkerke and Stein-ar
Engebretsen jumped
6'4" to tie for second place.
Engebretsen also took sec-ond
in the triple jump,
where teammate Mike
Renstrom leaped to a
fourth-place finish.
The team's next meet
takes place after spring
break on Saturday, April
3 at St. John's.

Rebate available to leaseholders
Dan Nelson, director of enrollment, explained the tuition
increase of 13.3 per cent for '82-'83 (photo by Don Copeland).
by Tammy Gregersen
Students living in Brigh-ton
Village and Silvercrest
apartments this year and
those who lived in Silver-crest
and Centennial apart-ments
last year may be
eligible for a tax rebate.
Since Bethel leases these
apartments, and does not
own them, only the stu-dents
living in these apart-ments
are eligible for the
Certificate of Rent Paid
(official government
name). Bethel is a tax-exempt
institution and
does not pay property tax
by Janice Woodard
According to Dan Nel-son,
director of enroll-ment,
the estimated cost
of Bethel's tuition, room
and board for next year
will be around $6800. Tui-tion
rates will go up 13.3
per cent.
For returning students,
tuition will be $4450 for
the year. This is an in-crease
of $525.
For new students, tui-tion
will be $4550 for the
year.
On-campus housing
will cost $1240 per year,
or $620 per term. Off-cam-pus
apartments will cost
$1350 per year, $675 per
term.
Board is estimated at
$850 per year.
According to Nelson,
the food prices are esti-mated
according to what
the average student eats.
"Financial aid will in-crease
substantially, espe-cially
aid from Bethel,"
said Nelson.
Nelson says that the po-tential
problems with fed-eral
aid are slightly over-stated.
Also the largest
proposed cuts are for '83-
'84 so they will not affect
next year.
Nelson estimates that
the total of all gift aid
Bethel will give to stu-dents
will increase from
$2.675 to just under $2.8
million.
According to Nelson,
Bethel is working on a
plan which will make
loans directly available to
students from Bethel's en-dowment-
fund. "Bethel's
endowment fund is under
$1 million," said Nelson.
"This is modest compared
on Bethel-owned housing.
Therefore, students living
on campus or in Fountain
Terrace are not eligible.
The 1981 Minnesota
Homeowner and Rental
Tax Refund Instructions
are available in post of-fices.
This booklet gives
both instructions for filing
and information as to who
is eligible. Form M-1PR is
the form for filing.
Those eligible for the
Certificate of Rent Paid
can file it with their state
income tax or independ-ently.
Since filing it with
to other colleges."
Bethel invests money in
stocks and bonds, and
uses the interest to pro-vide
scholarships and
other forms of financial
aid. Nelson says that they
are considering putting
the money into student
loans instead of the stock
market.
"There is not much we
can do to improve on-cam-pus
employment," said
Nelson. Bethel employs
about a third of the stu-dent
body each year,
which is over 700 stu-dents.
"We have approval to
hire a person to develop
off-campus jobs for stu-dents,"
said Nelson. "It
would be a type of employ-ment
office here on cam-pus."
"Bethel's increase in tui-tion
is in the middle of the
market place," said Nel-son.
According to Nelson,
Wheaton raised tuition 17
per cent for next year, and
Macalester raised tuition
15 per cent. Minnesota pri-vate
schools are raising
tuition between 12 and 15
per cent. Christian College
Consortium Schools range
from 10 to 17 per cent
increases in tuition.
"Bethel's 13.3 per cent
increase is in line with the
competition," said Nelson.
According to Nelson,
the single biggest item in
the budget is salaries.
Energy costs rank a close
second.
Revenue comes into
Bethel from two sources:
gifts to the school and tui-tion.
"Tuition is the single
larges revenue source,"
said Nelson.
the state income tax form
may slow down the pro-cessing,
the IRS recom-mends
that it be filed in-dependently.
The deadline
for filing is August 31.
Rod Long, director of
housing, cautions, "I don't
want to mislead anyone.
Filing for the rebate does
not necessarily mean you'll
get one." He added, "The
amount Of money rebated
depends on the individu-al's
financial situation and
tax status concerning par-ents—
whether you're de-pendent
or independent."
Nelson says that the tui-tion
that students pay in a
particular year goes to-wards
the services Bethel
provides for them that
year: teaching, administra-tion,
student services, etc.
"There are no carry-over
funds," said Nelson.
"Faculty wages will cer-tainly
be increased," said
Nelson.
"All of Bethel's housing
is expensive for us," said
Nelson. "Bethel does not
have the advantage of hav-ing
older dorms that are
either totally payed for or
financed during the '50s or
'60s with low interest
rates."
Nelson does not feel
that enrollment will be af-fected
by the tuition in-crease
next year. "Price
increases will be offset by
student aid," said Nelson.

ments. Question-and-an-swer
sessions about the
process will be held in
each residence area March
29-April 2.
According to the second
proposal, upperclassmen
may apply for any of the
available housing: approx-imately
22 townhouse
suites at Arden Village
East, 71 apartments at
Fountain Terrace, 82 at
Silvercrest and 19 at Brigh-ton
Village. (The number
of apartments at Brighton
Village is decreased by 16
from this year's 35 because
of budget allocations, ac-cording
to Long.)
The other significant ad-dition
to the second prop-osal
is class level quotas.
"Each class level of stu-dents
has been allotted a
specific quantity of rooms
based upon past occupan-cy.
When the quota for a
particular classification is
filled, the students whose
applications exceed the
quota will be housed tern-
- porarily," states the new
draft.
The sophomore and jun-ior
quotas of 492 and 228,
respectively, are equal to
the number of sophomores
and juniors presently
housed. Seniors, who pres-ently
occupy 185 spaces,
are allocated 115 spaces
for next year under the
proposal.
Married students would
have first choice at ten
unfurnished, one-bedroom
apartments at Silvercrest.
Priority in room selec-tion
will be based on the
average class level of the
group applying. Students
will be the highest class
average will be assigned
the space.
If groups are still tied,
the group with the most
people remaining in the
room from this year would
be awarded the room. .
Overloads, more than
the normal number of peo-ple
in an apartment, would
be allowed on a limited
basis by the director of
housing. As long as the
overload is in effect, there
would be a reduced room
rate for each resident of
the suite or apartment.
This would be the next
factor used to break
existing ties, the room be
awarded to those request-ing
an overload.
Date and time of appli-cation
would be the next
determinant for breaking
ties. A lottery would be
used to break remaining
ties.
Applications would be

Edgrenites DISCed unfairly
Lifestyle demands openness
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response
to the 25 DISC points that
have been given to all the
residents of Edgren dorm.
Although I am not a resi-dent
at Edgren, my sister
is and I am also concerned
as a member of the Bethel
community. I have several
points of contention with
this disciplinary action.
First, the issue is no
longer fire extinguishers
and alarms. We are not
talking about people's hous-ing
futures made unneces-sarily
uncertain. The sys-tem
of justice involved
here is a dangerous one.
This action does not seem
to depict Christian justice.
Our democratic model of
justice does not fit either.
Tie whole idea of a person
being not guilty until so
proven is not even appli-cable
and this seems to be
the very basis of justice as
we know it.
Second, if this is to be
policy at Bethel, then there
should be some sort of
Dear Editor,
This letter concerns the
anonymous lifestyle
breakers interviewed in
last week's Clarion. Their
whole justification for
breaking the lifestyle
works on the premise that
whatever they do, it's be-tween
God and them and
that it does not make one
any less of a Christian just
because he/she drinks or
chews. One even stated
statement regarding it in
the Bethel handbook. Peo-ple
deserve to know that if
they live in a dorm where
vandalism has occurred
they may be held person-ally
and corporately respon-sible,
and they deserve to
know it before they come
to Bethel.
People are being penal-ized
for living in Edgren
dorm where some vandal-ism
has occurred. I'm sure
other townhouses or dorms
have had such problems,
but blanket punishment
has not been levied. I don't
believe this inconsistency
is fair to the many inno-cent
people involved in
this situation.
Third, I see the timing of
this punishment as most
unfair. The residents found
out only last week that
this punishment was offi-cially
levied. Next year's
housing forms will be out
soon and it seems as
though they may have
purposefully put off an-nouncing
the decision un-til
it was virtually too late
that he/she couldn't see
"one man telling another
how to live."
Have either of them
ever really read the Life-style
Statement? I think
they are missing a few
very important points.
First of all, the Statement
says right in it that "these
behavior expectations are
intended for our life to-gether
at Bethel, not as
for students and parents
to react effectively. It must
have occurred to them
some time ago that no one
was going to step forward
to point or admit guilt in
this matter, especially
since the incidents occur-red
last fall.
One hears a lot of dis-cussion
at Bethel about
the "end justifying the
means" and I don't think it
does in this case. In fact, I
see more harm than good
coming from this, action.
Many people have had
their faith in Bethel shaken
and it has not contributed
to the well-being of the
community as a whole.
I don't know what the
purpose behind this pun-ishment
was, but I don't
see people being nearly as
concerned about the prior
vandalism as they are
about the present injustice
of the punishment. I hope
those in authority will re-consider
this action.
Sincerely,
Judy Hougen
norms for all Christians
everywhem"
Bethel is not trying to
judge, but simply trying to
set this school apart from
others, and to help pre-vent
students from becom-ing
stumbling blocks to
other, perhaps less "ma-ture"
Christians who still
have problems with the
more "sophisticated" Chris-tians
who can smoke,
drink, etc.
I'd like to make one
other point. While I will
agree that it may not be
un-Christian in all situa-tions
to have an occasion-al
beer or something, the
Bible specifically states,
"Thou shalt not lie." Sign-ing
the Lifestyle State-ment
while intending to
break it is a lie, and I see
no way to justify this.
Jan E. Johnson
Dear Editor,
My reasons for support-ing
the Bethel lifestyle are
related to my early high
school years. At that time
my lifestyle was contra-dictory
to Bethel's. I
changed as a result of re-newed
faith in Christ. I
chose Bethel because of
the lifestyle. It is the way I
want to live and feel every
Christian is called to live.
I know what happens to
a person when they are
involved in drinking, smok-ing,
dancing, etc. These
activities prohibit spiritu-al
growth and some are
cietrimentai to a person s in rne three yeaPs that
physical health. I've been here I've found it
The Bible does not come very frustrating to live in
out and directly state: a "community of Chris-
"Thou shalt not drink alco- tians" where folloWing the
hol, smoke, dance, etc." It lifestyle is strange.
does, however, have some- Those of us who follow
thing to say about it. As the lifestyle never get to-
God's children we are gether and talk about the
called to glorify God. By problems we face. We need
doing these things can we to be more open about the
glorify God? If we are not subject—whether we fol-doing
anything to glorify low it or not.
God are we not in fact
degrading Him, because if
we are not for Him we are
against Him? We should
not defile our bodies by
participating in these ac-tivities.
Violators miss point, also justify lie
For those of you who do
not follow the lifestyle, I
ask that you would reeval-uate
your activities and
the effect they have on the
Bethel Community (Pr.
14:12).
I know of many who,
while at Bethel, have
changed their lifestyle to
that of Bethel's. To these
people I ask that you be
more open so that we all
may benefit from your ex-perience.
To live in community as
Christians, we need to com-municate
and be reconciled
to each other.

by Donald M. Larson
It's three hours after dawn on Monday morning. The
-coffee shop is laced with its usual array of back-packing,
Bible-toting, butt-slapping boys and giggling,
gawking girls groping after glamor and grace. This is
not my space. I'm an outsider here.
So I turn to the latest issues of the Clarion to pass the
time. Quiet rage overwhelms me. I inch my way
through column after column of navel-gazing and
chest-beating. What is this?
The first (and last) time I smoked, I was so scared,
shook, ashamed and guilty that I wet my pants. Except
for coffee, pop and sugar, I do not knowingly ingest
injurious substances. I never really dance, but I do tap
my foot to music and occasionally waltz around the
room when nobody is looking. I rarely walk, stand or sit
with any other woman, and have never slept with
anyone but my wife. In other words, I'm clean!
But I'm crude, rude, arrogant and pushy, and those
things aren't listed in the BLST (Bethel Life Style
Treatment).
However, that insidious "once saved, always saved"
theology provides me with a dandy rationale for play-ing
fox among the chickens: a greedy and insensitive
fox keeping chickens from smoking, drinking, dancing
and doping—things that I never really did or cared to do
anyway.
The self-righteousness here is incredible, and the
brouhaha over the BLST may just be a death-rattle in
disguise. Beneath its surface is a myopia that prevents
us from seeing beyond the high, thick, strong and long
Even though this refers to
the church, it holds true
for Bethel in that we are to
be equipped (i.e. taught,
admonished, corrected, re-buked,
etc) by those in
positions of leadership.
We are not mature
enough in the spirit to lead
ourselves and may very
well be enticed by our own
desires (II Tim. 4:3), pos-sibly
becoming a blind
guide for the blind (Matt.
15:14).
"Finally, brethren, what-ever
is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is
right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, what-ever
is of good repute, if
there is any excellence and
if anything worthy of
praise, let your mind
dwell on these things"
(Phil. 4:8).
"Offer up an acceptance
sacrifice, well pleasing to
God" (Phil. 4:18).
Bo Burridge
walls that we create to protect us from the very world
which we talk about touching, and an arrogance that
justifies an arrogant attitude toward those whom we
hardly see or know from our narrow perspective.
We major here in insulation from the real world, not
involvement with its masses. We nurture dependence
on our own special heroes, heroics and folklore, not
learning independently from those who live really in
the world. Witness the Clarion's content last week.
If history repeats itself, this current brouhaha over
BLST may jiist finish us off as a useful institution for
the Church in the world.
Yet the power of the Christian community must be
here among us somewhere; waiting to be expressed in
those traditional themes: reconciliation, not rejection;
incarnation, not mortification of the flesh; discipleship,
not puppeteering; confession, not massage. Christians
at their best are always crawling inside the skins of
others. Always taking the initiative to reconcile, follow-ing
His example. AlWays discipling themselves first to
those whom they ultimately hope to serve. Always
confessing their weakness in living for Christ in anoth-er's
context.
Our "bottom-lining" one another is a sign of deep
insecurity and preoccupation with self-interests. We
need to remind ourselves what Jesus said about those
who say "Lord, Lord" (See Matthew 7:21-23). Surely
the present situation calls for a year-long moratorium
on further discussion of the BLST while we get our
priorities straight.
That's the problem in the Bethel Coffee Shop. Too
many disguises. Yuk.
by Kraig Klaudt
Decreed within the world's all-time best-seller is this
profundity: "Of making many books there is no end;
and much study is a weariness of the flesh.' As a recent
mid-term inhabitant of the Learning Rehabilitation
Center, I for one can attest to the infallibility of this
statement.
If Bethel isn't bricks, it must surely be books. The
majority of literate Bethelites will devour over 1000
pages a month and more than 100 different texts during
their collegiate career. A thousand dollars will easily be
spent to secure this reading. Erasmus once said "When I
get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left I buy
food and clothes," which sounds as if he bought his
reading material at the same place I do.
In a different way, Bethel faculty members are also
hooked on books. Every professor I know has written at
least one best seller, if only in hisTher mind. In particu-lar,
Biblical studies instructors live under the ultima-tum
of "publish or parish," referring evidently to their
potential deportation to a BGC pastorship.
Recognizing that a large amount of our time is spent
reading, how does the happy booker separate the wheat
from the chaff; the profitable from the pulp? A few
weeks ago I sent a survey to members of the Bethel
faculty and staff asking them to respond to the follow-ing
question: If you had your way, which books would
you make sure every Bethel student had read by the
time he/she is graduated?
Forty-one educators responded with over
eighty different suggestions. C.S. Lewis's Mere Chris-tianity
was the runaway winner in the "top ten faculty-recommended"
list which resulted:
1. C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
2. Henry David Thoreau, Walden
3. Marx & Engels, The Communist Manifesto
4. Ron Sider, Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger
5. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
6. Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
7. Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolu-tions
8. Dante, The Divine Comedy
9. Pascal, Pensees
10. Dag .Hammarskjold, Markings
If your personal favorite didn't make the list, take
comfort in Andre Maurois' words, "In literature as in
love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others."
Since I have free ink, I would also like to propagate a
few of my own favorites. Two Quaker authors lead my
list; Thomas Kelly's A Testatment of Devotion and
Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline. Authors
Bonhoeffer, Muggeridge, Kierkegaard and E.F. Schum-acher
have also had a positive influence on my life.
Finally, as this column is rapidly resembling an Irv-ing
Wallace-like "list of books," allow me to include one
more item... books to add to your paper's bibliography if
you don't have time to read (with partial credit due to
the New York magazine):
The Little Prince, Microavelli
Christopher Raven, Edgar Allen Poe
One of My Three Goals is Liberty, Hat Trick Henry

Unsafe at Any Galaxy, Darth Nader

Dear Editor,
Thank you for your
most recent Clarion issue
on "lifestyle." It was most
enlightening, but the main
point of lifestyle was not
well emphasized.
The articles emphasized
a lot of things like "spirit-ual
needs," "college stand-ards,"
"Christian attitude,"
"Christian atmosphere,"
and "community." These
are terms which center on
self and ourselves as a
community. What needs
to be brought to the fore-front
is Jesus Christ and
his selfish desire for our
service.
It is true that the Life-style
Statement's first par-agraph
talks about "the
Bethel Community" and a
"fellowship of persons,"
but it is more important
that it talks about the in-terests
of Jesus Christ and
his kingdom moving for-
This statement should
not be up held for the sake
of the statement itself, but
rather God should be glor-ified
in what we do, be-cause
we are all called his
children. The statement
on lifestyle needs to be
thought of not as some
abstract concept, • but as
that which brings us in
unity to Jesus Christ.
It is apparent to me that
I am far from mature. I am
far from reaching the point
where I would be a guide
unto myself. I am thankful
that the Lord has set up
guidelines which I may
ward here on earth at Beth-el
College.
What does it mean to be
"fully committed to (not
myself) Jesus Christ?
What does it mean to be in
"continuous surrender to
the Holy Spirit" and "in
dedication" to his con-cerns?
imitate, admonishing me
in the ways and teachings
of his kingdom.
Consider, for example, I
Cor. 4:16. Paul says, "I
exhort you therefore, be
imitators of me." He fur-ther
states in I Cor 11:1,
"Be imitators of me, just as
I also am of Christ." Paul
was a living, breathing
example of what it means
to imitate Christ. ,
Consider also Eph. 4:11-
13. "and he gave some as
apostles, and some as pro-phets,
and some as evan-gelists,
and some as pas-tors
and teachers for the
equipping of the saints for
the work of service, to the
building up of the body of
Christ; until we all attain
the unity of the faith and
of the knowledge of the
Son of God, to a mature
man, to the measure of the
stature which belongs to
the fullness of Christ."

The DeGarmo and Key
Band came back for the
second year in a row to
play to a sell-out crowd in
the Bethel gym on Friday,
March 12.
Their performance left
no doubt that the De-
Garmo and Key Band is
one of the best rock acts
on the Christian music
scene.
The five-member Nash-ville-
based band kept the
audience "psyched" with
its clean, forceful style
and straightforward mes-sage.
The lighting and
sound were done very pro-fessionally.
The band's stage man-ner
was informal and un-assuming.
The perfor-mance
was interspersed
with short talks and bits
of humor.
At one point a stage
hand took the microphone
and vouched for the
band's integrity, after
which Ed DeGarmo pat-ted
him on the shoulder
and handed him a wad of
bills.
The band played songs
off all three of their al-bums
plus some unre-leased
material. High-lights
of the first set were
"Jericho," powerful and
ominously prophetic, and
"Wayfarin' Stranger," in
the band's unique arrange-ment
of this traditional
tune, featuring keyboard
and guitar solos. The first
set closed on a more mel-low
note with Dhana Key
playing acoustic guitar on
"Alleyways of Strife" and
"Mary ."
The second set got un-derway
energetically with
the rocker "Emmanuel,"
which merged seamlessly
into a thumping neo-blues-style
instrumental featur-ing
intense organ and gui-tar
work.
Later, on "You Know
That Jesus Loves You,"
both guitarists left the
stage waded up to their
center aisles, exchanging
licks and weaving some
exciting double-lead work
on the high-energy tune.
On the second encore
Key walked on stage alone
and talked about the un-necessary
divisions he
sees in the church today.
He ended the show by
quietly playing"I Have De-cided
to Follow Jesus."
A live double album of
the band will soon be
available featuring mate-rial
from earlier records
plus new material.

Members of the DeGar-mo
and Key Band, who
performed at Bethel Fri-day,
March 12, were per-sonable
both on and -off
stage. The following is a
brief interview with
Dhana Key, guitarist-sing-er-
song writer for the
band.
So this is your second day
of the tour?
It's the second night to
play. We played Kansas
City last night. We're just
getting broken into travel-ing.
When was your last tour?
It was about four
months ago. We've been
off for four months just
basking in the sun. I've
been skiing, Ed (DeGar-mo)
did some studio work,
and I don't know what the
rest of the band did.
Are there certain themes
that are the core of what
you say through your mu-sic?
There are certain mes-sages
that we feel we are
particularly gifted in pre-senting.
I think one of the
things we are able to con-vey
to Christians is that
even though they may
have a "peculiar" gift from
God, they still can use it in
the body of Christ, be-cause
our band is an exam-ple
of that.
Another role that we
play that's kind of un-usual
is the role of rock-culture
evangelist. There
are not many evangelists
who can reach the hard-rock
culture, but we seem
to be able to penetrate that
audience pretty well.
Do you usually draw more
of a Christian or more of a .
secular audience?
A lot more Christians,
probably 75 per cent Chris-tians.
How do you feel about the
show tonight?
I'm really pleased—I
had a good time. I hope the
audience did too. It's im-portant
to me that the
band members enjoy them-selves,
because I believe
that's contagious.
We all had a lot of fun,
plus we felt that like the
Holy Spirit really spoke
through us tonight, and
that's the most important
thing.
How long is this tour go-ing
to be?
About 30 cities, which
will take us about a month
and a half.
So you have a new record
coming out?
A double live album re-corded
last fall in Okla-homa
City. We're real
proud of it.
Is there a lot of new mate-rial
on that?
No, actually it's what
we consider the best of the
material off the first three
albums, and then three
new songs that we just
interjected.
Is there anything you
would especially want to
say to a Christian college
audience?
The thing I've found
across the country is that
on most Christian college
campuses there are a lot of
kids who play religious
games.
They're not in a Chris-tian
college because of
their hard, strong beliefs,
but for various reasons—
their parents wanted them
to go, or they thought it
would be an easier, more
safe place to go than a
secular university—you
know, a "big, cold secular
university."
We want Christians to
grow up and to weigh the
cost of doing -God's will.
It's not easy to do God's
will; it's really tough. Let
me just tell you a brief
story.
When the rich young
ruler came to Jesus he
said, "Good master, what
can I do to have eternal
life?"
And Jesus said, "Well,
you know, keep the com-mandments."
He said, "Well, I've done
that from birth."
Jesus was testing his
faith and seeing if he was
just religious or if he had
genuine faith. He said,
"All right, fine, come and
follow me—but first go
and sell all that you have.
Of course the guy was
rich; he weighed the deci-sion
in his mind, and he
decided it was more impor-tant
to have the riches
than to follow Jesus. So
the guy probably went
back to his wealth and
continued to play religious
games for the rest of his
life and went to hell.
Now Jesus didn't turn
and run to this guy and
say "Hey, man! I was just
kidding—you can follow
me even if you don't sell
all your possessions." Je-sus
never said that. Be-cause
it costs a lot to fol-low
Jesus, and you can't
fool around and play
games when it comes to
doing God's will.
You have to be willing
to give up everything, whe-ther
it's career, whether he
asks you to give up your
family, your parents, your
280Z, whatever it is that
he asks you to give up to
follow him, then you have
to give it up to follow him.
Now he doesn't ask every-one
to give up the same
things, but he does test
our faith. And I'm afraid
that a lot of kids in Chris-tian
colleges are going to
live a religious life, go to
church, give their ten per
cent and then end up going
to hell.
Do you mind that your
audience is basically Chris-tian?
No, I like it. I feel like
the responsibility for evan-gelism
is not with the big
TV evangelists but with
the body of Christ. And
what I want to do is get
Christians on the ball so
that they'll win their
friends and their neigh-bors
to Christ.
I resent the attitude that
I've got to take an unbe-liever
to church or to a
concert and let the profes-sional
Christian win him/
her to Christ. It's not the
professional Christian's re-sponsibility
to win people
to Christ; it's every single
Christian's responsibility
to proclaim the Gospel. So
when I have that audience
made" up primarily of
Christians, I've got a great
opportunity to challenge
and motivate, and hope-fully
I'll get a lot more
done by motivating them
than I could do myself by
witnessing 24 hours a day.

Long explains room selection procedure, calls for student input
by JoAnn Watkins
"It's a draft of the pro-posed
room selection pro-cedures,"
said Dr. Rodney
Long, director of housing.
A new proposal for hous-ing
application was recent-ly
distributed to members
of the Bethel community.
Long said that he is in-terested
in student input
and described three ways
for students to voice their
opinions. Students can
talk to the representative
from their residence on
the housing advisory com-mittee.
Residence councils
housing, from page 1
accepted in rounds, but
different from those of last
year. When application is
made and a room assigned,
the student would have 14
days to return the signed
lease and .a $200 room de-posit.
The room assign-ment
would be cancelled
if the deadline is missed.
In the past the room
deposit has been $65. For
returning students this
amount will be held over
for the next lease term,
and an additional 5135 must
be paid to meet the deposit
requirement. The room de-posit
has been increased
due to the large number of
students who have can-celled
their housing this
year, the proposal states.
Round one would be held
from April 5 - 8, for contin-uing
students who are ap-plying
for full-occupancy
rooms, suites or apart-ments
and for overloads.
will also have an oppor-tunity
to respond to the
draft. Resident assistants
and assistant director are
another channel for views.
"I'd be happy to talk to
anyone about it," said
Long. "I'm seeking student
input. I'd have to make an
arbitrary decision with-out
it, and I don't want to
do that."
Long said that he has
been considering several
plans to improve the selec-tion
procedure. He explain-ed
two reasons for this
proposal. The first he des-cribed
as an educational
The round would be gov-erned
by class-leVel prior-ity,
not on a first come-first

round two would be held,

had to be rejected in
round one due to errors.
Round three, April 26- 30,
would include all continu-ing
students who are ap-plying
without .roommate
preference or who are ap-plying
with roommates but
for less than complete oc-cupancy.
No room changes can be
made during the first and
second weeks of each sem-ester,
during the month of
December or during inter-im.
A charge of $25 per
person per change will be
levied on all room changes
after the first occurrence.

ground. "By their sopho-more
year a lot of students
have left or dropped out
for one reason or another.
The hardest retention year
is between freshman and
sophomore years." Long
said he sees a need for the
sophomore to have prior-ity.
The second reason is de-velopmental.
"The group
out on their own shouldn't
be sophomores," said
Long. "Seniors are more
mature and capable to ad-just
to apartment situa-tions."
With this proposal
there is a gradual increase
in the demands on the stu-dent.
Long stated that not
many students used round

"Just because we're
Christians doesn't mean
that people won't steal,"
said Mack Nettleton, dir-ector
of student affairs.
"People have problems,
and dishonesty is one of
them."
Nettleton expressed con-cern
about the higher inci-dence
of theft on campus
this year.
"We want to create a
climate where people
won't steal," said Nettle-ton."
Theft is-not consist-ent
with Christian values."
According to Jim Woods,
director of physical plant,
the majority of stolen arti-cles
are petty things like
gloves, purses, calculators,
and books. A- stereo was
stolen from a faculty of-fice,
and earlier this year a
video recorder was stolen
, from the drama depart-ment
lounge.
"17 thefts have been re-ported
this year," said
Woods. "Probably four
times that are not report-ed."
"Theft occasionally oc-curs
in the bookstore. "We
know there's a lot going
on, but nothing we can
prove," said Marvin Fuller,
manager of purchasing/
bookstore. The biggest
problem, according to Ful-ler,
is the pens and pen-cils.
Other problems are
candy and any loose ob-jects.
Textbooks and Bibles
have also been stolen.
Fuller has suggested
putting lockers outside
the bookstore.
Another growing prob-probably

the selection, said Long,
because the points have
been administered incon-sistently.
Round one was
intended to promote com-munity
in the housing res-idences.
"I don't know
how much community
we've established," said
Long. "[The proposal]
would involve a lot of mov-ing."
When asked if he
thought it was a good idea
to segregate the students
by classes, Long said, "Not
entirely. The administra-tion
is concerned with
how to ensure first choice
for everyone.
Long said that the room
deposit increase to $200 is
a result of a number of
students cancelling out of
lem area is the theft of
food cards. "We receive
complaints from time to
time," said Glennda
Thompson, food card coor-dinator,
"but there's little
we can do about it. "
Thompson offered these
suggestions: put name and
PO on food cards, don't
put food cards in the POs,
and don't - leave things ly-ing
around.
Food cards can be traced
according to the number
on them, and cashiers are
alerted to watch for stolen
food cards.
"If you're going to leave
your purse/wallet lying
around, you're asking for
trouble," said Thompson.
"A lot of people are too
trusting."
The problem of theft also
occurs at the POs. Accord-ing
to Elaine McCleary,
post office coordinator, let-ters,
food cards, money
and keys have been stolen
out of POs.
"People simply don't re-spect
the privacy of the
PO boxes," said McCleary.
McCleary is pushing to
get locks put on the POs.
"We are the only school I
know of without locks,"
said McCleary.
Earlier this year the
Clarion reported on theft
problems in the food ser-vice
(see Oct. 9 issue).
Nettleton offers two sug-gestions
to curb the prob-lem
of theft: the responsi-bility
for honesty as a self-discipline,
and the respon-sibility
of taking care of
personal belongings.
Thieves have been ap-prehended
from off-cam-pus
in the past, so the
their leases with Bethel.
"We're committed for a de-posit
and rent for the year.
Students will hold a place
in housing and then come
back a few weeks early
and find their own apart-ment.
When someone can-cels
out of housing it costs
Bethel $700-$900 per se-mester.
"We're not looking to get
money out of the situa-tion;
we're looking forpeo-ple
to make an honest deci-sion."
Long said he thinks
it is okay for students to
look for cheaper housing
but an ethical question
arises in deliberate decep-tion
about housing inten-tions.
Two other options that
Long sees are early pay-problem
could be an in-side
or outside job.
"We're vulnerable," said
Nettleton. "People know
we're a Christian commun-ity
and very trusting. We
need to be more careful."
All thefts should be re-ported
to the Physical
Plant department. A form
will be filled out on the
missing item (s), and if
necessary, an investigation
will be made.
If a theft occurs in the
resident halls, the resident
director should also be no-tified.
If an item is missing,
students should first check
the lost-and-found.
"By recording the thiev-ery,
we can notice any
pattern and can solve the
case more easily," said
Woods. "But the percen-ment
of housing charges
or a requirement that the
student pay for the terms
agreed to in the lease. Be-cause
of Bethel's policy on
refunding of student ac-counts
these options are
not possible.
According to Long, the
first option is not valid
because of Bethel's refund
policy which allows stu-dents
to receive refunds of
their housing. The second
option would not consti-tute
acceptable relations
between the housing de-partment
and students.
"If we could get by with-out
a room deposit, that
would be great," said
Long. "Housing costs are
not going down in the next
years."
tage of recovering stolen
articles is very low."
"We are trying to do
everything we can to pro-tect
property, but the stu-dents
must protect their
own property," said
Woods. "Bethel is not a
Christian college, it is a
college of Christians."
If a student is caught
stealing, he/she is sent to
the Student Affairs office.
According to Nettleton,
there are three options in
dealing with this: counsel-ing,
dismissal from school,
or dismissal from school
and involvement with lo-.
cal authorities. All three
of these options have been
used in the past'
"We don't want to create
a suspicious community,"
said Nettleton, "just a care-ful
one."

Middle East forum airs views of Palestinian, Israeli by Anita Baerg
Noha Ismail says Pales-tine
is a land without its
people, and the Palestini-ans
are a people without a
land. Dr. Isaac Platzner
says the Israelis did not
"kick out" the Palestinians,
but only settled in the un-occupied
areas of Pales-tine.
Each speaker support-ed
his/her perspective at a
forum concerning the Mid-dle
East crisis held March
15.
"Palestinians are consi-dered
as third class citi-zens
in their own land,"
said Ismail. "First are the
European Jews, then the
Oriental Jews, and then
the Palestinians."
"State law has Jews and
Palestinians equal," said
Platzner. There are no
state laws that separate
citizens by class distinc-tion,
he said.
Platzner sees the Pales-tinian
Liberation Organi-zation
(PLO) as a terrorist
organization, while Ismail
says the PLO is trying to
represent the displaced
Palestinians. "I feel the on-ly
way Palestinians and
the PLO are perceived is
as terrorists," she said.
The worst violation of
Palestinians rights was
the Israeli settlement in
Palestine soon after World
War II, Ismail believes.
She said that the Israelis
will annex more and more
Palestinian land and even-tually
incorporate all of
Palestine into Israel.
But Platzner believes
that there are two separ-ate
states in Palestine: one
Jewish and one Arab.
"The Arabs did not accept
this in 1948 when Jews
were being resettled," he
said. "The people of Israel
only want peace and a
place to live their own cul-ture."
Although U.S. policy
doesn't support the acqui-sition
of land by force in
Afghanistan or Poland, Is-mail
said, the U.S. is sup-porting
it in Palestine.
"You (U.S.) cannot be selec-tive
in human rights," she
said. "Help the whole
world, not just part of it."
Only when Palestine is
included in the negotia-tions
for peace will there
be peace, said Ismail. But
our longing for peace can-

Monday, March 15. Stu-dents

Improvement seems to
be the magic word for the
women's track team, and
it shows in the results of
the last meet, the Ole
Open at St. Olaf on March
13.
Wendy Norberg set two
personal records (PRs) at
the meet, which was Beth-el's
last indoor competi-tion
this year. Norberg ran
a 5:25.8 mile for her first
PR and in the invitation-only
two-mile race the ju-nior
took 16 seconds off
the school record. The
11:26.7 was her second
personal best.
In the 60 yard dash Dan-ettte
Burgess ran 7.32 to
take fourth in the race and
shave .2 of a second off her
previous best. "That's an
incredible amount of time
to take off in an event that
is so short,". said Coach
Book.
Kathy Kvam threw a
personal best of 37'7" to
finish sixth in the shot
put. Only three inches be-hind
was the toss of Sara
Barker, who finished sev-enth.
Freshman Penny
Marshall also made a PR
with her throw of 34'8".
The team gets a break
until April 10, the start of
the outdoor season, which
will begin with the Bethel
Invitational.
"We needs lots of fans to
be there; that's usually a
cold, rainy day, and the
girls need a lot of encour-agement
to be out there
and compete," said Book.
The meet, held at
Mounds View High
School, will start at
around noon.
D. Johnson,
teammates
take honors
by John Clark
David Johnson was
named to the NAIA All-
American hockey team
and several other Bethel
hockey players received
post-season honors as
well.
Johnson, who ended his
career at Bethel as the Roy-als'
all-time leading scor-er,
became Bethel's first
hockey All-American.
Johnson was one of the big
factors behind Bethel's 15-
15 season and the Royals'
fifth-place finish at the na-tional
tournament.
"It's exciting to have one
of our playerS chosen as-an
All-American," said
Bethel hockey coach Craig
Dahl. "David certainly de-served
it; he's a tremen-dous
individual on and off
the ice."
In addition to his na-tional
honor, Johnson was
named to the MIAC's all-conference
team along
with teammate Jon Erick-son.
Erickson, a junior de-fenseman,
headed an im-proved
Royal defense that
was responsible for Beth-el's
turn-around from a
year ago, when the Royals
won only three games.
Receiving honorable
mention awards for their
play in the MIAC were
Scott Dahlstrorti, a for-ward
who also received
honorable mention last
season; Scott Mayer, a
freshman forward; and
Bruce Nord, a sophomore
defenseman.
By Wendy Norberg
Almost every MIAC
school was represented
last weekend at St. John's
"MIAC" Days track meet.
No team scores were
kept, but Bethel pulled a
string of fine performan-ces.
The strong Ro yal mid-dle-
distance squad gain
paced the team's achieve-ments.
The mile-relay team of
Mike Dirks, Tom Plocker,
Don Hauser and Dave Jor-genson
ran 3:28 to capture
first place. The fleet four-some
has yet to be beaten
this year in this event.
Highlighting the meet was
Plocker's fast 1:56.6. time
in the 800 yard dash,
which set the St. John's
fie-ldhouse record and
earned him another first
place. Jorgenson and Haus-er
dominated the 600 yard
dash, taking first and sec-ond,
respectively, in times
of 1:15.3 and 1:15.7. Sprint-er
Satch Shaheed also
turned in a first for Bethel
when he won the 60 yard
dash in 6.4.
"Ties" were common-plaCe
for the Bethel squad.
Shaheed crossed the line
in 23.7 to tie for third in
the 200. In the 400 Jay
VanLoon and Mike Dirks
tied for third with 52.4
efforts. And high jumpers
Joe Moerkerke and Stein-ar
Engebretsen jumped
6'4" to tie for second place.
Engebretsen also took sec-ond
in the triple jump,
where teammate Mike
Renstrom leaped to a
fourth-place finish.
The team's next meet
takes place after spring
break on Saturday, April
3 at St. John's.
